Firstly, if you are reading this, I am very sorry that you are going through this emotional period. My heart goes out to you. Hopefully, this will be of some help. I have personally gone through one miscarriage. I have 2 beautiful children, a 2nd trimester termination to my 3rd pregnancy followed by a miscarriage in my 4th pregnancy at 6.5 weeks.

I was delighted to find out that I was pregnant in March 2013 after a sad episode to my 3rd pregnancy. However, at 6.5 weeks, I spotted. I headed to the hospital immediately and I was given a progesterone injection. Unfortunately, a week later, I miscarried. I was at the gynae to confirm the miscarriage and I told my gynae that I wanted aNatural Miscarriage. My pro-natural gynae supported my decision.

In a miscarriage, many women elect to get a D&C at the advice of their doctor, unaware that they can trust their body with Natural Miscarriage. A D&C is a medical procedure that is often performed after a miscarriage. The initials stand for ‘dilation and curettage.’ In a D&C, the opening to the uterus is dilated and the walls lining the uterus are scraped, in the case of a miscarriage it is for the purpose of removing any fetal and placental tissue left over from the pregnancy.

The fact is that D&C is not without risks, I opted for Natural Miscarriage as I did not want to put myself in any risk that would affect my fertility.

Some of the potential complications of D&C include:

Hemorrhage: heavy bleeding is a possibility if the uterine wall is punctured or scraped too hard by the curette.

Infection: anytime an instrument is inserted internally there is a chance of infection. Some infections are serious but most can be cleared up by taking antibiotics.

Perforated uterus: any instrument may snag or tear the uterus by accident during a D&C. Signs include pain and heavy bleeding.

Asherman syndrome: as a result of aggressive scraping or abnormal reaction to scraping, thick scarring on the uterine walls may form. Periods stop and the woman becomes infertile.

Irregular periods and/or difficulty conceiving: even slight uterine scarring can cause an irregular cycle and make it harder to get pregnant again.

To help a natural miscarriage and to recover from the miscarriage, I started on Christopher Female Reproductive Formula and Christopher Hormonal Changease as well as Red Raspberry Leaf Tea. I turned down my gynae’s prescribed antiobiotics, Augmentin and took Barlean’s Olive Leaf Extract throughout as olive leaf is known to be a natural antibiotic due to it’s antibacterial and antiviral as well as antifungal properties. Additionally, I also took the 28-Day Post-Natal Confinement Herbs for my ‘mini-confinement’.

The bleeding lasted 10 days and the natural miscarriage went well. I continued to take Christopher Female Reproductive Formula and Christopher Hormonal Changease and Red Raspberry Leaf Teawell after I recovered from the miscarriage as the herbs prevent future miscarriage and are fertility herbs too.

My gyane encouraged me to try again after 2 menstrual cycles. The 2 cycles is to ascertain the ovulation pattern however I let a cycle passed and tried in my 2nd cycle. The good news is I got pregnant again in June 2013 after a miscarriage in April 2013.

Red Raspberry Leaf Tea has become one of the most popular herbal “fertility teas” that women are using to help aid in fertility. The red raspberry leaf is the green leaf that is found on the raspberry plant. It has been used for thousands of years and is a popular herbal treatment for fertility and can help with various problems throughout pregnancy. The relaxation effect of red raspberry leaves on the uterine muscles may work to help prevent early miscarriage and to assist early embryos in attaching to the uterine wall. It is also one of the main herbs that is considered safe in most cases to use during pregnancy in preparation for labor.

Olive leaf extract has been used as a natural antibiotic for thousands of years, but it is only recently that scientific research has shown that its active ingredient oleuropein, has powerful healing properties, and can fight bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that cause infections and disease. Olive leaf can inhibit or destroy a wide range of harmful bacteria, fungi and yeasts while allowing beneficial bacteria to multiply.
